Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Devil tried to beat me down but that shit was a love tap
Cause evil never prosper when it's solid where love at
Through all the ups and downs me and my shawty a good match
Wearing our emotions when we through a rough patch
Remember nights I was stressing cause I ain't have it figured out
Til I focused on my blessings see I'm finally living now
I smile a lil different now, my skin a lil thicker now
I walked that lonely road until I found me a different route
Cause now I focus on the art, to light from the dark
You could see that I was lost, but now I'm regal with my walk
Got me moving like a king, I could lift a single finger send an army to your team
Pop off and do the race, put a nigga in his place
If I say we get to shooting there won't be no second take
I got way too much drive for me to ever pump my breaks
I got way too much shine for me to ever let it fade
Nigga

All of these problems that we done been through (been through)
Look at what money make a bitch do (bitch do)
I went to bed some issues
Woke up to bread and I'm all fine
And (been through)
Look at what money make a bitch do on time man

I was raised by the old school
Hustling was the go to
And niggas bangin' drums to show who really got them pro tools
Nowadays it's no rules
These niggas out of order
I'm just tryna make it, keep my head above water
I'm a legend right now, let me tell you right now
I'm just tryna get my roses, gotta smell em right now
Representing right now, applying pressure right now
Thought I already told you lil boys pipe down
Got no time for beef, I'm busy making decisions
Skip the small talk cause it ain't part of my interest
And every L I take is a W for the business
Cause every lesson learned just raises the fucking limit
It's our year, I screaming it all year
Man on a mission my intention is warfare
Used to be the youngin with the big boys, who carry big toys
And now we in the streets everyday we making big noise
Told them it's gon take time, now I take mine
I could die any day I'm tryna have a great time
All the labor that I put in, bet I enjoy the fruit
All or nothing with my passion, this is really in my roots
Tryna tell you how I feel right now, tryna tell you how I feel right now
Know I shouldn't be here right now but we still made it here somehow

All of these problems that we done been through (been through)
Look at what money make a bitch do (bitch do)
I went to bed some issues
Woke up to bread and I'm all fine




And (been through)
Look at what money make a bitch do on time man
